Home Education
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department has taken to ensure parents maintain the right to home educate their children.
Answered by Stephen Morgan
Section 7 of the Education Act 1996 sets out a parent’s right to educate otherwise than at school, i.e. to home educate. The department knows many parents work hard to provide a suitable education for their children in their home environment.
